Origin
Selected ~2012 by Mike from a large seed batch from his Washington Co, AL leuco population (Mike's internal code "4520"). The clone nearly died — all divisions rotted out except a tiny side shoot — and Mike called it "only clone" both literally and as a deliberate gating tool ("don't distribute the last division before copies are made").
History
It took ~10 years for the surviving side shoot to produce a nice trap; documented for the first time on the forum 2022-09-18 (post #1, id=49036). Mike notes that in retrospect, "only clone" has a very typical look for the Washington Co, AL population. More impressive Washington Co clones have since emerged from larger grow-outs and will be posted as they mature.
Standout traits
- Representative phenotype for the Washington Co, AL leuco population.
Cultivation notes
Slow to bulk up after the rot event — ~10 years from selection to first nice trap. Once divisions are stable, it grows normally.
Standout traits
- Very typical look for the Washington Co, AL leuco population — representative phenotype.
- Survived a near-loss event (rot wiped out all but one side shoot).
Cultivation
Slow recovery — ~10 years to produce a nice trap after the rot event.

Naming
"only clone" — Mike selected this clone ~2012 from a large seed batch and grew a few divisions, but everything except a tiny side shoot rotted out. Mike kept calling it "only clone" partly so the only remaining division wouldn't get distributed before copies were made. ~10 years later it finally produced a nice trap (2022).
